“In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph!”
Promise of Our Lady at Fatima
We start by making piously the Sign of the Cross, which is the Sign of the Christian:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.
Offering of the Rosary
I unite myself to all the Saints and holy Angels who are in heaven, to all the righteous who are on earth, to all the faithful souls who are in this home. I unite myself to You, my Jesus, to praise Your holy Mother with dignity and to praise You in and through Her.
I renounce all the distractions that will come to me during this Rosary that I want to say with modesty, attention and devotion, as if it were the last of my life. Amen.
The Symbol of the Apostles
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Church of Jesus Christ, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Three Hail Mary’s
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee; blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is Thy Son, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, and to the Mother of God.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
JOYFUL MYSTERIES
1st mystery: The Annunciation and the Incarnation of the Word
In union with Our Lady, consider the astounding humiliations suffered in atonement for your pride by Him who is the brightness of eternal light, the unspotted mirror of God’s majesty and the image of His goodness.
Rejoice with Mary for Her high dignity, and think of how exceedingly profound is Her humility, now that today She has been raised to the dignity of Mother of God.
How little you resemble Her in your vanity and wishes for the esteem of the world. Put down your pride and make serious efforts to acquire the virtue of humility, which is so necessary and without which all other virtues are nothing.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in the most need of Thy Mercy.
(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
2nd mystery: The Visitation of Mary to Her cousin Elizabeth
Follow Our Lady on the way to Saint Elizabeth’s house, and while you meditate on the meaning of this mystery, adore Jesus in Mary’s womb. Through Her, He now begins to cast the fire of His love into the hearts of men. How great is His love for you even now! How great a desire your divine Saviour already has to see the day in which He shall sacrifice Himself on Calvary for your salvation!
How do you practice charity? See, then, in what way Our Lady wishes you to correct yourself with regard to this virtue, and beseech Her to inflame your heart with true charity for your neighbor.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
3rd mystery: The Birth of Jesus in the stable of Bethlehem
What poverty in the stable of Bethlehem! A handful of straw; swaddling clothes, which gave the divine Child so little protection against the intense cold; poor shepherds to form the court of the King.
Admire this state of destitution, which marks but the beginning of all that Jesus is to suffer, until He is stripped on Calvary. Become more and more detached from all things, and with a firm confidence, ask the Virgin Mother to obtain this grace for you.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in the most need of Thy Mercy.
(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
4th mystery: The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
In union with your divine Mother, regretfully adore Jesus in the arms of Simeon. From what you see in this mystery, learn that Jesus gives Himself in preference to a soul that is pure and detached from everything. “Eternal Wisdom is a vapor of the power of God and a certain pure emanation of the glory of Almighty God, therefore no defiled thing cometh unto it.”
Therefore, cultivate in your heart a great love for purity, by which you will be made like the Angels and intimately united to God. But always remember that you can acquire this virtue only by keeping a constant watch over your senses and by being truly devoted to Mary.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

GLORY BE TO THE FATHER, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, and to the Mother of God.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in the most need of Thy Mercy.
(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
5th mystery: The Loss and Recovery of Jesus in the Temple
While you condole with Our Lady in Her sorrow, when She sought the divine Child for three days, look into your own heart, and in your Mother’s presence see what your desires are for possessing Jesus in your soul. Do you shed tears, or at least do you feel sorrowful on realizing that you are still far from Him?
Mary is the spiritual magnet that will attract Jesus into our soul. Take Her as your guide in the ways of the interior life, and She will help you to find Jesus in the temple of your heart, wherein He dwells. She will teach you to treasure in your memory His love, His beauty, and all the great benefits He has earned for you.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
We recite ten Hail Mary’s
HAIL MARY full of grace, the Lord is with Thee; blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is Thy Son, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
GLORY BE TO THE FATHER, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, and to the Mother of God.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in the most need of Thy Mercy.
(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
Hail, Holy Queen!
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.
SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
1st mystery: The Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Listen to the tender plaints of Jesus in the Garden of Olives: “My soul is sorrowful even unto death... My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me!” Have compassion on your sorrowful Mother while you offer this decade to Her. She has so often shed tears of blood over your offenses and for the sins of all men. Implore Her to touch your heart with the grace of sincere contrition, for until now you have grieved so little for your sins.
Pray also for the conversion of some great sinner, but especially ask Her to obtain the grace of true contrition for all those who will die today.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in the most need of Thy Mercy.
(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
2nd mystery: The Scourging of Jesus
With what reproaches and infamies has your dear Saviour been overwhelmed for love of you, from the moment of His agony till that of His bloody scourging! The mere thought of them should instill in your heart the deepest feelings of horror for the slightest sins of sensuality, for which your innocent Jesus has suffered so painfully!
Sympathize with Our Lady in the sorrows which this harrowing scene of the scourging causes to Her Heart and beseech Her for the grace to mortify your senses. Many sinners are lost because of sensual pleasure! Pray for them.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
We recite ten Hail Mary’s

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
3rd mystery: Jesus is crowned with thorns
Consider the pitiful state to which your pride has reduced your sweet Saviour, the King of kings, the Lord of lords. Adore Him now that He is crowned with thorns, covered with a tattered cloak of purple, made a mock king by a lawless body of soldiers, who overwhelm Him with insults and all sorts of ill treatment.
Unite with Mary and offer your acts of adoration, of compassion and of love in atonement for so many outrages. Beseech Her to offer worthy thanks to Jesus on your behalf, and ask for the grace to know yourself better, in order to loathe and despise yourself, as your cowardice and your many sins deserve..
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
4th mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
See how lovingly Jesus embraces His cross and takes it upon His shoulders! He beholds in it the sign of your redemption, the powerful weapon that will crush your enemies. Express your gratitude to Jesus and, at the same time, offer your sympathy to Mary, whose Heart is so cruelly rent when She meets Her divine Son. Admire Her zeal in sharing the sufferings and humiliations of Her Son on Calvary.
How do you practice resignation to the Will of God in the trials of life? How do you love your crosses? Humble yourself over the many murmurings of which you are guilty, and beseech Our Lady to make you see that it is profitable to your soul to be warned of your shortcomings and to undergo in this world the punishment of your sins and your pride.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
5th mystery: The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus on the Cross
Consider at what cost Our Lady has brought forth your soul to the life of grace. Saint Anselm says, “All the pains inflicted upon the bodies of the martyrs are slight, or rather they are nothing, compared to the excessive sufferings endured by Mary.”
Honor the Queen of Martyrs who has suffered so much for you. Sympathize with Her in Her deep sorrow and say to Her with the Prophet, “To what can I compare Thy sorrow, O Virgin, Daughter of Sion, for it is as great as the sea!”
Following the example of Jesus and Mary, suffer willingly for the salvation of souls.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.
GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
1st mystery: The Resurrection of Jesus
What heavenly splendor surrounds Jesus on the day of His Resurrection! How Mary’s Heart is filled with an overflowing abundance of love and joy when She sees Her Son, liberated from the bonds of death! Rejoice with Her and congratulate Her with all your soul, for the glory of Jesus is Her glory.
Consider the great kindness of your risen Saviour seeking out His Disciples and the holy women! With the same love, He follows you and wishes to give Himself to you, but your soul is so indifferent!
Lay down your requests at the feet of Mary. This kind Mother is so exceedingly happy at the Resurrection of Her Son that She can refuse you nothing.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
2nd mystery: The Ascension of Jesus in Heaven
With Mary, contemplate Jesus ascending gloriously into heaven, surrounded by Angels and by the souls He has delivered from limbo. What a glorious triumph! What an honor and joy for all of heaven!
Rejoice with Our Lady over the glory of Her divine Son. Obtain access to Her Heart and ask Her to make you share Her interior feelings after the Ascension. Saint John Eudes says, “Mary’s longing to be with God in heaven was so intense that only by a continuous miracle could She remain alive.”
But what are your desires? You wish for Jesus, but is it an earnest wish? You hope for heaven, but what are you doing to gain it? If, like Mary, you thought only of Jesus, incarnate Wisdom, if you often remembered His treasures, His ardent desire to possess you in heaven, how much more generously would you serve Him and how zealously would you remove any hindrance to His union with you! Ask the Blessed Virgin to obtain that grace for you.
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
3rd mystery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Apostles
Meditate attentively on this mystery. Pay honor to your divine Mother, surrounded by the Disciples in the Cenacle, where She receives the Holy Ghost. With what plenitude of grace is She enriched on this day!
Rejoice with Her and implore Her, for yourself and for all Her slaves of love, for the grace of a closer union with Her Immaculate Heart. Recall these words of Saint Louis Mary de Montfort: “When the divine Spirit has found Mary in a soul, He flies there; He enters there with the fullness of His gifts, especially the gift of Wisdom, to work wonders of grace.”
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Prayer requested by Our Lady at Fatima)
4th mystery: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven
In spirit let us contemplate the last moments of our Blessed Mother. What a peaceful death is Hers! Having received the visit of Jesus, Her Son, in Holy Communion, and being filled with an overflowing abundance of blessedness, She dies of love as She has lived. Ask Her to obtain this grace for yourself and for all who are dear to you.
Some of the Apostles are present at the last moments of Our Lady. Their hearts are disconsolate at the loss they are about to suffer. With soothing words, Mary consoles them in their grief, She blesses them and leaves them the assurance of Her powerful mediation with Jesus Christ. Remember that She does the same for you, and that to gain your full confidence, She says to you with loving tenderness, “Fear not, My child. I am your Mother. I am going to heaven to prepare a dwelling-place for you.”
How consoling these words are! Mary, my Mother! How good a Mother! All good, all merciful! A Mother who knows all my trials and miseries, who desires to give me relief and take me to heaven with Her!
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

5th mystery: The Crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Let us follow Our Lady as She is taken up to heaven, leaning on Her Beloved, surrounded by a multitude of Saints and Angels. What a glorious retinue! What jubilation when this divine Queen makes Her entrance into heaven! With what joy and glory is Mary filled when, seated upon a throne of magnificence, the Blessed Trinity crowns Her as the well-beloved Daughter of the Father, as the admirable Mother of the Son, as the faithful Spouse of the Holy Ghost! If even the least of the Saints is filled with heavenly bliss, what then must be the happiness of the Mother of Jesus!
But what can we say of Her happiness, we who are still exiled from our heavenly homeland? Along with the Blessed in heaven, whose glory and bliss are in-creased on this day, in silent admiration let us rejoice with our Mother.
O Holy City of God! O divine Virgin! How many perfections are there in Thee to delight the Blessed above! What splendor! What beauty! What admirable power! What wisdom! What light! Above all, what love for Thy poor children here below!
O merciful Mother, give me some understanding of what Thou art, and captivate my heart with Thy charms, so that I may loathe life and desire only to be with Thee. Alas, divine Mother, what will become of me if Thou dost not pity me, exiled as I am, exposed to countless dangers, carried away by a thousand evil inclinations, laid open to every attack of the enemy? Unhappy child that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? As the hart pants after the fountains of water, so my soul pants after Thee,
O Virgin most holy! How my soul desires to see Thee! When shall I come and appear before Thy face in the eternal light of God?
OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen!
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.
